I am getting a Derma Roller and continuing my usual Shea mix and my Coconut oil mix. I am going to use essential oils with the Derma Roller if I can.

Ok...I promised myself I wouldn't do anything to my hair this year but I'm boooored. So I colored it red last night. Used Loreal HiColor for dark hair so that I didn't need to bleach at all. I'm 2 weeks post relaxer and was supposed to wait another week, but 
. Other than that, I'm sticking to my regi and not trimming. The Claudie's Scalp Elixir I ordered is on it's way too

Ladies, I celebrated my 28th birthday yesterday....well Saturday, 5/21. I am currently rocking half-wigs and the one of choice for the weekend is Motown Tress LG-61...inspiration NJoy avi pic! Loving her! She's so full and big, definitely diva hair!
As for my real hair, I'm rocking cornrows and plan to wash, DC, and moisturize in them....I'm actually enjoying hiding my hair and I actually don't feel restricted like I normally do when I'm wearing protective styles long term.

gotta check in, but really fast:
ok ladies, i'm considering chopping off the stringy bone laxed ends.
they look too whimpy compared to the rest of my hair which is now texlaxed.
i would miss BSL, but having gotten there in feb. does help me believe i can do it.
trying to decide if it's better to wait until it's longer then chop up to BSL or just get it over and done with now.....
hhj ladies!!!

Well, you should go ahead and do it now. I always have this fear that severely stringy ends would creep up the rest of my hair shaft and destroy them. I don't know if it's true, haha. It'd be nice if someone could debunk it!! However, if you're protecting the ends and keeping it hidden, etc, I don't see the need for you to cut them off just yet. I'm pretty much keeping my hair hidden till I reach my goal of three inches past waist-length, in which I will cut about three inches to make a nice U-shape with the tip reaching my waistline to get rid of all the uneven-ness. I don't really have stringy ends, but they're def uneven.

Just got my hair relaxed this weekend and I'm proud to say that I'm very close to BSL. I will definitely be full BSL by the end of the year - maybe even MBL. However, I'm still clinging on to APL status until that day has come.
Part of me just cannot wait till Christmas is here. I have some doubters in my extended family and hopefully this will change their minds about black hair!!! (especially Naija hair). Since they are my family and know my familial background very well, they won't throw the mix card, which I have gotten a few times, to my surprise (How do you react to those? I feel flattered sometimes, I'm not going to lie, but it's tainted with this very weird feeling I cannot really put into words
).
My stylist was so happy for me, and she seemed very well informed! I wish I could have tipped her but I was dirt broke that day. I feel like she must have been a Nikos's cousin because she understood my hair talk filled with jargon a little too well, haha. Now I regret not asking her.
Okay, many of you have read this far expecting pictures or something. I'll post them later this evening (on a separate thread)! It's not much but it does show some growth over a 16 month span.

I have some projects at work 
that I’ll be jumping in and won’t be taking my daily lchf breaks as before.
So I’m putting myself on a LHCF updating treads regimen. Unless I have any major setbacks and need you’ll help I will limit my updates to every other month. I am keeping a daily journal on what I’m doing to my hair so I’ll update if anyone is interested on those dates.
I will also only do length checks right before giving my updates. I have to put down that measuring tape and try not to focus on my length.
This is a challenge to me because I LOVE reading the treads and seeing how well you ladies are progressing. So I’ll just be
and just know I’m wishing each of you all the best on your HHJ.
Peace!!

Hey ladies I haven't been in this thread since I initially joined lol *sowy*.
But I've enjoyed looking at the updates. Good job ladies!
I wanted to share my growth I was ambitiously hoping to get to bsl on my nappy anniversary 06/2011 (at least just touching). But it looks like I'm going to need a few more inches to get there.
I've decided to up my game a bit; Regular exercising, healthy eating, daily vitamins, and more water. I'm going to use a Castor oil, peppermint oil, Rosemary oil mix 3-5x's a week to stimulate growth. My growth is normally 1/2 inch per month so I should be able to tell if my hair is growing faster.
Okay so here goes my update pics

I have some serious breakage at my crown and the left side of my hair is a lot longer than my right for some reason. Sigh. I'm really irritated with my hair. I won't be doing another super long stretch this go around.

7 days until June Updates! 
I'm excited to see where everybody is. Even though I'm supposed to wait until the 30th for HYH, I'll be cutting out of that challenge early to reveal my hair after my relaxer on June 12 or 18th. Happy Hair Growing!

ojemba and ezina, i really appreciate your supportive words about these ends!
thank you!
now, the thing is to find the patience to let them grow instead of cutting even right now.
anybody know a store where i could order some of that precious comodity?! lol!
as you see, TruMe, it's not you...it's just the fact that hair grows at its own pace (though there are several products that enhance this pace; not to mention the importance of proper care).
hair also grows at different levels in different places, so it might not be even all the time, but if you stick with it and do not give up, you WILL get results.
paitence.
keepithealthy and ImanAdero great pictures! thank you for the eye candy! you are both doing very well!!!
hhj ladies!!!
oh, btw, IntheMix08....ummm...uh.....i don't know if imma have pics by june 30th.....ooops!
